    Summary

    Her hands rose slowly, hesitantly, to his face. Warm and just faintly shaking, they cupped his jaw like he was the fragile one. Her fingers stroked lightly over the scruff on his chin, sliding to his cheekbone, and he leaned into it without thinking. Like he always did.

    JJ swallowed, his throat dry, and kept his voice low and steady, the way he knew she needed it. “What is it, Baby?”

    Kiara’s brown eyes held his, steady now, shimmering with something that made his chest ache. The love there was so palpable it felt like it poured straight into him, filling every crack he’d ever carried.

    And then she said it.

    “I’m pregnant.”

    JJ Maybank’s faced guns, storms, and death itself… but diapers? Yeah, that’s the real adventure. Luckily, he’s got Kiara to keep him from screwing it up. This is the story of JJ stumbling, laughing, and cussing his way through preparing for fatherhood—while learning he can be more than he ever thought possible: a good dad, and the kind of husband Kiara deserves

    Summary

    “You want us to foster a kid?” Mike finally asks, disbelieving. Will is half convinced that El will laugh in their faces, clearing up the misunderstanding with a, “No, silly. I want you to water my plants.”

    “It doesn’t have to be forever,” El says. “Just until I can find another home for him. I can’t stand him living in the shelter anymore. Not right now. He needs emotional support. And don’t lie to me— I know you two have been wanting kids. This can be a trial run.”

    Will and Mike are tasked with fostering an emotionally distant, judgmental, sassy twelve-year-old boy from El’s shelter. As hard as they try to win his heart, they seem to be making no progress. After all, how could two strangers earn the trust of a boy who’s been hurt time and time again?

    Summary

    Will’s not supposed to be hiding in corners, forcing a fake smile when Mike asks him if he’s okay. He’s not supposed to brush off insults like they're jokes. He’s not supposed to vanish for six hours during a school day, leaving Mike feeling like he’s slipping away all over again.

    Whoever said that beating Vecna’s going to fix Hawkins’ problems, Will’s problems, Mike’s problems—they deserve an earful. They deserve to feel this weird, hollow dissatisfaction chewing away at their chests.

    aka mike begs will to escape their small town after too many run-ins with homophobic small-town bs. he knows will's meant to find himself elsewhere, but he never expects to find an answer to the age-old question of his own fate. prom, gay bars, sleazy hotels, train stations, two lesbians and their not-so-legal marriage - they aren't the traditional sources of wisdom, but he can't complain.

    Summary

    A routine akuma attack takes a potentially deadly turn when Chat Noir attacks Ladybug instead, and she quickly finds herself with her back against a wall and at his mercy. After a narrow escape, Ladybug is desperately worried and left with no clues to follow, and so begins a long and frantic search for her partner.

    However, it’s not Chat Noir she finds, but Catwalker, a mysterious hero she’d only met once, years ago. Her heart sinks—where is Chat Noir, and why does Catwalker have his Miraculous?

    Catwalker insists that they’re in danger. Monarch is searching for him, has already captured Chat Noir, and intends to use Chat as a weapon against them. But none of his vague explanations make any sense—how could Catwalker and Chat Noir both be transformed at the same time?

    Then he makes his most outrageous claim yet; according to Catwalker, Chat Noir is a Sentibeing. As if that wasn’t shocking enough—he claims that he IS Chat Noir!
